Combatives Defensive Tactics International (CDTI) is a system based
on Hapkido, Jiu-Jitsu, Muy Thai and Kali, but also heavily draws from Law
Enforcement Defensive Tactics, Jeet Kune Do and Western Boxing.

We combine techniques repeatedly proven in Iraq and Afghanistan to equip the combatant with the ability to defend in all four ranges of empty hand combatives: Kicking, Punching, Stand-Up Grappling (Clinch) and Ground Fighting. Of the many fighting styles such as Karate, Taekwondo, Jiu-Jitsu, Boxing, etc. most only fall within the confines of one or two of these ranges.

CDTI emphasizes speed, simplicity and effectiveness. Our methods
do not take years to perfect. Since our training focus is on neutralizing
a real world threat. Our clients rapidly gain practical skills and useable
knowledge.

CDTI provides intensive and realistic training with an emphasis on
the client’s physical safety. Age, gender or physical condition, are
not limitations to beginning an effective and safe training program.
